the highlands and islands of scotland
A selection of images taken in some of my favourite location.
This extract from "A man in Assynt" by Norman MacCaig sums up my feelings far better than I can
Who possesses this landscape?-
The man who bought it or
I who am possessed by it?
False questions, for
this landscape is Masterless
BEYOND THE NORTH WIND
And it' roving for pleasure by mountain and stream
Rovin for sorrow wi' whisky and dreams
Rovin for fortune on far foreign shore
At the back of the north wind its rovin no more
(words and music by Brian Macneil)
